The Eed Raiders, who hit the victory trail after two setbacks at the start of the season, downed ws Owls 5 to 1 and 13 to 5. It was the fifth win in six games witA on.

They coliscted only five biagles in the opener but put together three of them in the fifth inning when they picked up the four runs which made 'the difference. The Southern Orejonians also clustered their runs in the second fuss with four each in the third and sixth and five in the seventh. Ray Theiss recorded his fifth pitching win against no defeats in the first game and Hank Smith brought his pitching stand ing to 2-0 in the second. Ned. Bay Double SOC didn't get a hit until the fifth inning in the starter. In that frame Ned Landers and Theiss doubled, Ted Landers singled and two errors helped the Raiders.

Theiss whiffed four batters and walked two and Tykeson struck out six Raiders and issued a single walk. Action was close in the night cap until Southern Oregon's sixth inning outburst. The score was knotted at 4-all going into that chukker. SOC collected 13 bingles while its own hurlers, Lloyd Hoffine and Smith were teaming for a seven-hitter. There was only one base on balls on each side. Errors were fre'quent with a tricky draft at Gems' stadium affecting the high flies which were hit. All Raiders hit safely with the exception of Hoffine who got a walk in his only appearance at the plate. Vince Millers had two doubles among his three hits in five times up. Owings slammed two for three and Fred Luper two for five including a two baser. LINESCORES: (First Game) SOC 000 040 1 5 5 0 OTI 000 010 0 1 3 5 Theiss and Seymour; Tykeson and Arhe.

Gene Littler, with SI 0,000 in his pocket as the result of winning the rich Tournament of Champ ions, said today the only part of the game he could really rely on these days was his putting. "I spent so much time in the rough the last three days that I'm disgusted in my woods," said Littler. "But as long as the putting holds up I guess I shouldn't complain." Littler not only won the $10, 000 first prize but he will get another $7,000 from singer Frankie Laine, who purchased him in the Calcutta Pool for $16, 500 and got back $69,500.

A QUALITY PRODUCT Lh ) ' "S DARRELL MILLER COMPANY, 415 S. RIVERSIDE Monday, April 30, 1956 Martha Raye Named In Affections Suit Westport, Conn. (U.R) Television comedienne Martha xxaje iiiu a iidiiusunie young po liceman today denied charges by the"" patrolman's wife that Miss Raye stole his affections while he worked as her body guard. Mrs. Barbara Anne O'Shea, 20. wife of patrolman Robert O'Shae, 27, and mother of his 16-day old baby, made the charges in a $50,000 alienation of affections suit against Miss Raye. "Miss Raye is completely shocked at this totally unexpect ed action," her attorney, Shirley Woolf, said in Miami Beach, Fla. "She has never had any roman tic alliances with Mr. O'Shea." 'It's All Gossip' "It's all gossip and it's a frameup," a friend of O'Shea quoted the policeman as saying. "I haven't even seen Miss Raye recently." Mrs. O'Shea said her tall, slim and handsome husband took a part time off duty job late last year as Miss Raye's bodyguard and soon made it -apparent that his interest in the five-times married comedienne was more than profesisonal. The young wife charged that her husband walked out on her the day she brought their baby home from the hospital last week and said he was in love with Miss Raye. O'Shea family sided with his wife in the dis pute and at one time his brother and O'Shea got into a fist fight in Miss Raye's Westport home.
